If you don't mind *really* piggy performance, use SL/IP. Tie the
systems together with a serial line and a null modem, start SL/IP and
cross mount or whatever.
If you don't have smart chips in your serial cards you have to keep
the speed way down, but it *will* (eventually) work.
Performance will be even worse than it sounds.
